The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. Please be aware of the fact you will be
required to cut away the instrument panel coaming from the kit parts to fit
these resin parts, but this sort of thing is standard when installing most resin
cockpit sets. This set is loaded with photos etch parts and each seat will
be a kit in itself to add the detail parts and then get the painting complete.
The instructions are well laid out
and easy to follow with line drawings.
I'm very impressed with the level
of detail and the extent of the detail parts included in this set. It will
be quite the focal point of your finished F-16I Sufa model.
You can purchase this and other
fine resin detail items directly from Aires
or from the many retailers that carry their products. A list of some of
those retailers can be found here.
